Dashing Housewife Polish - Christmas Cheer Collection

Today I have swatches of the Christmas Cheer Collection from Dashing Housewife Polish. There was one polish that I really really loved, one that was really nice, but the rest sadly were just too thick. I wish I could give everybody raving reviews but I am always honest and will tell you guys the truth. In my opinions most of these were thicker than I like.

UNDER THE MISTLETOE
Starting with my favorite!!! I love this one so much! made up of a mix of red and green glitters including hearts and dots! You definitely have to have this one! Formula was nice. With clear glitter mixes I don't mind if it's just a little thick because sometimes it grabs the glitters better. This is two coats over Sally Hansen "Green With Envy" plus shiny topcoat...

...and MATTE!!!! Ah I just love it!

HOLIDAY CHEERMEISTER

Another glitter base glitter topper made of of various greenand silver glitters. Really nice polish but didn't thrill me. Perhaps I should have chosen a different base color. But again formula was good. This is two coats over white.

SANTA BABY

A bright pink glitter bomb with hints of silver. Really pretty polish. It was ok on the first coat then on the second coat started to get a little thick. I think this one is doable if you make sure to do maybe three or four seriously thin coats. This is two coats plus topcoat.

SNOW IS GLISTENING

A white shimmery white crelly base with iridescent glitters. I did not like this one. It was too thick and the glitters got lost. I thick if the formla was thinner and slightly less opaque the glitters would shine through more. Two coats.

FROSTED COOKIE

Another white shimmery crelly base with bright pink and turquoise glitters. It really does look like a frosted cookie! The formula on this one was so bad. A little bit on the thick side but manageable. Two coats.

FROSTBITE

A light blue shimmery base with silver, blue and purple glitters. This was one of the thickest ones. This is two coats.

MINTER WONDERLAND

A mint green shimmer base with white glitters. I really wanted to like this one! Again it was quite thick :( This is two coats.

BABY IT'S COLD OUTSIDE

A shimmery turquoise polish. Again just too thick and not really my style.
